Devil's Lake, Wisconsin State Park. Castle Rock

Devil's Lake, Wisconsin State Park. Castle Rock | Postcard | Wisconsin Historical Society
Castle Rock at Devil's Lake, number 4801 in E.A. Bishop's Wisconsin State Park Series. Caption on back of postcard reads: "Our State Parks now rank among the foremost parks of the continent. They are visited annually by thousands of tourists not only from Wisconsin, but from all over the United States. There is nothing this side of Yellowstone to compare with them in wonder and beauty. Devil's Lake is about one-half mile in width and more than a mile in length; it is surrounded by high picturesque rock formations, some of which resemble faces, some animals, while others remind us of the ruins of some old deserted castle."
